Overview

About

Maintained by Timothée GiraudCRAN page ↗Codeberg ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

An interface between R and the 'OSRM' API. 'OSRM' is a routing service based on 'OpenStreetMap' data. See https://project-osrm.org/ for more information. This package enables the computation of routes, trips, isochrones and travel distances matrices (travel time and kilometric distance).

Changes in 6.0.0

Major change

use kilometers for distances in all functions and add a once-per-session

message about this breaking change affecting osrmNearest(), osrmTable() and

osrmIsodistance()

Fix

return an error on input coordinates containing NA, NaN or Inf values

(#141 thanks to @neon-ninja)

harmonize the accuracy of results to the meter for distances and to one

decimal place of a minute for durations in all functions (#137)

Feat

add snapping distance to results in osrmTable(), osrmRoute() and osrmTrip()

(#136 thanks to @e-kotov)

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("osrm", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-osrm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-osrm

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-osrm

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
